Great Watch! Questions....
After much deliberation, am seriously considering picking up this one (5817BA/12/9V8) in Yellow Gold. I was also looking at the Chrono (5827BB/12/9Z8) option for the Marine. I needed to know -
1. Assuming that you have handled the Chrono, how do the two compare? And any reason for specific preference?
2. Is there a significant difference in the sizing of the date between the 5817 & 5827? In pictures, the date on 5827 looks much smaller.
3. Can the strap be switched over from Rubber to Leather with ease?
4. How accurate is the watch?
Thank you in advance for your looking, time and reply.
Best Wishes
Mally

After the 666, now this lovely Breguet... It is funny to see how this Breguet can be worn in a dressy way, or like this, for water activities. I love its Chameleon personality! Thanks for sharing, my friend. Nicolas

Thanks Bill!
Appreciate your immediate response. Your inputs and the link to Great Race will help me immensely in making my choice between the 5817 & 5827. My initial go is with the 5817 - an understatement, perhaps, but looks stunning. The accuracy is pretty unbeliev...
It is always good to see a watch in its element...
Looking good, I wished I did more sailing this summer.

My Favorite watch...
Hi Bill...... How are you. I see you have my favorite watch on wrist. Tell me how does your rotor respond at different estimated power settings.... as in does it ever seem sluggish or temporarily stuck as the watch may be approaching fully wound? Kindest ...
